Aloha, A new year has started, giving us a fresh start. When reflecting on 2018, what lifestyle choices do you want to improve? For many working out more, eating healthier, and getting back on their program are common goals. What I love so much about the beginning of the year is the renewed energy we have.

For me, this really started to come out when my mom passed of breast cancer, followed by her older sister a few years later.
